Black Madonna – is back on Teater Sort/Hvid & Aarhus

The race-erasing show by Madame Nielsen & Christian Lollike stirred the Danish public into a foaming race-race. The show transgressed the stage borders and fourth and fifth walls out into the public space and the social networks. It includes Sister Nielsen’s own black songs, viral music videos and much more. Until the 12th performance the show was named and publicited as White Nigger / Black Madonna but then – of reasonable reasons – reduced to its initial title.

Black Madonna is part 1 of a beyond-the-races work, which also includes:

Agent Nielsen in Cairo

The Supposed Statue of the Prophet Mohammad

– a parallel history of Egypt – Act 3 –

Sunday 8 April Agent Nielsen returned to Cairo to make the third and final attempt to free the plaster copy of Claus Beck-Nielsens body. In September 2010 the effigy was shipped to Cairo as a representative of the universal state citizen to have it’s death bed and burial in the City of the Dead. At the arrival in Cairo Airport it was seized by the Egyptian Intelligence Service, who suspected it of being a statue of the Prophet Mohammad. A few weeks later Agent Nielsen arrived and made his first attempt to free the statue, but he too ended up in the hands of the Egyptian Security Service. This may have been the beginning of the Egyptian Revolution, which culminated a month later in January 2011. Since then – for almost 1½ years – the statue has been considered lost in the post-revolutionary turmoil. But in March 2012 the Danish Embassy in Cairo reported that a private Egyptian individual, a Mr. Eng. Hazem had put it on sale for 5000 Egyptian Pounds. According to himself he had bought it from the Customs (a.k.a. the Security Service?). This final mission of Agent Nielsen was to redeem the statue and – on Friday 13 April after the morning prayer – to let six Egyptian revolutionaries carry the statue through the streets of Cairo to Tahrir Square and finally “bury” it in the hands of The People and the Revolution.

Tuesday 10 April

The statue tracked down in a warehouse in Giza, home of the Pharaos:
